How to load font from disk?

Question

Is it possible to load a font from disk and use it during run-time?

If so, how/where do you store the fonts on the iphone/ipod/ipad for your app to use?

(To be clear, I'm not talking about adding the font as a resource at design-time. I'm asking about a way to allow a user to select a font file during run-time, loading it, and making it available for use.)

Answer 1

您应该将它们（.ttf，.otf）放入UIAppFonts下的信息UIAppFonts然后可以通过setFont: withSize: “使用”它们setFont: withSize:

Answer 2

You add your font as a resource, add it to your info.plist under Fonts provided by application ( UIAppFonts ) array, then use it as any embedded one.

Ok, in that case take a look at FontLabel project.

One thing though, looking through it's code - you can only get CGFontRef and with kind of voodoo work with it, no conversion between CGFontRef and UIFont really exists. See this question
